[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public schools really need to stick to the "least restrictive environment" component to IDEA. 
As a related service provider, I can tell you that many families don't want their kid taken away from regular ed peers while others feel like more hours will result in more progress (not always in my experience). 
I have worked for MCPS, DCPS and PGCPS and never have I experienced special ed teams trying to give minimal services. 
Just last week we met about a kid who has scored in the low end of average for all areas but kept his services in place because we thought the progress was because of the supports but we also want him to be in the classroom as much as possible as his abilities increase, so it is a careful balance. 
Trust me, educators want kids to learn. 
If anything, we try to make sure kids who aren't progressing are placed in appropriate programs but those decisions are made at higher levels than the school based team. [/quote]

This. I’m a teacher and I have to agree, that the least restrictive is best. They are professionals (believe it or not) and they are not out to get you or your child.[/quote]
